The surname Whitelaw, of Irish descent, has a rich history that can be traced back to medieval times. The name Whitelaw, derived from the Old English words "hwit" meaning white and "hlaw" meaning hill, was initially used to describe people who lived near a white or light-colored hill. It is believed that the name originated in the border region between England and Scotland.
In Ireland, the surname Whitelaw is predominantly associated with the Scottish settlers who arrived in Ulster during the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century. These settlers were primarily Presbyterian and were brought over to help colonize the region. Many of them had surnames of Scottish origin, including Whitelaw.
Over time, the Whitelaw family in Ireland became well-established and integrated into Irish society. They were involved in various professions such as farming, trade, and politics. The name Whitelaw has also spread to other parts of Ireland through migration and intermarriage.
Today, individuals with the surname Whitelaw can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world where Irish descendants have settled. The name continues to be a symbol of heritage and identity for those with Irish roots.
